"While we have made progress in both the private and public sector to make information security a priority during the last two years, much more work needs to be done," Shannon Kellogg, BSA's director of information security policy, said during a panel discussion at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.
Kellogg commended the Bush administration for developing its National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, which was released earlier this year.
"This is a comprehensive plan that the private sector strongly supports, citizens from all parts of the country have helped develop, and that foreign nations have looked at as a possible model for their own national and regional policies to secure cyber-space," Kellogg said.
